EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the birth and education of Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, the King of France from 1214 to 1270. The image is a miniature from the manuscript "Life and Miracles of Saint Louis" by William of Saint Pathus, dating back to the 14th century. It is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The scene depicted in this artwork showcases an important moment in history - the birth and upbringing of a future king. We see a young child surrounded by his mother, Blanche of Castile (1188-1252), who played a significant role in shaping his early years. The delicate illumination work adds depth and richness to this historical piece. Louis IX's reign was marked by his commitment to justice and compassion for his subjects. He became renowned for promoting peace within his kingdom while leading two crusades during his lifetime. This image offers us a glimpse into his formative years that would shape him into one of France's most beloved monarchs. Through this photograph print, we are transported back to medieval times, witnessing both the innocence of childhood and the weighty responsibilities that awaited young Louis IX as he grew older. It serves as a reminder not only of French history but also highlights how art can preserve moments that have shaped our world today.
